Chapter One Hundred and Two: A Simple Meeting
Chapter One Hundred and Two Simple Meeting
Taverns in Stormwind.
Merchants gathered to talk about the impact of dwarf locomotives on the market.
The price reduction of sea salt is just the beginning, leather, fruits and vegetables, iron ore, and more goods will usher in a real commercial storm as the cost of transportation drops.
The whining of the dwarf locomotive was like a talisman, urging the nerves of every businessman.
The goods brought in by Emerald Ridge were too fast, forcing the merchants to change.
A cart of sea salt, a cart of seafood, a cart of grain, a cart of fur!
The merchants are not given time to react and pour into the Terran market.
And at this moment, Jade Ridge and Redbeard sat opposite Li Zhenshu, and the smile on his face never stopped.
The dwarven locomotive had been running for less than ten days, which was more than half a year of his robbery.
On the table, there are pearl necklaces, red-eyed corals, glazed crystal sand, and a lobster sea stone, every thing here, at least a dozen golden hooves, and a pile in front of you has more than hundreds.
But Redbeard was not stingy at all, and the beard on his face seemed to be about to laugh out loud.
Today, there are tens of thousands of sea tribes gathered in Redbeard's town, and his fame is spreading rapidly throughout the Pearl Sea.
Compared with robbers, this kind of raw profit is not known how many times faster.
Lao Li sipped hot tea, and no one knew better than him the purpose of Redbeard's durability in coming to Emerald Ridge at this moment.
Dwarven locomotives operate at a high cost and can transport the infinite resources of the sea to the interior, in this world, the ocean is many times larger than the land, and the contents contained in it are endless.
The sea sand used to build the city walls, eat alchemy materials such as fish, coral sea urchins, pearls necessary for magic potions, and deep water aquamarine, cold magic iron.
Even the huge veins of magic crystals under the sea, the most expensive to buy and sell the sulfur on the island today.
Compared to the inland, the vast ocean contains too many resources.
Redbeard has just opened the door to ocean development.
With the operation of the Dwarven locomotive, marine resources are vital to Redbeard and now to Emerald Ridge.
But Li Zhenshuo still directly rejected Redbeard's idea of continuing to expand.
The low transportation cost of dwarven locomotives has begun to impact the normal market order of Stormwind City, and this impact is spreading to the country of Gale Wind.
That's not a good sign!
He needs to drive the economy of the entire wasteland, but he can't let himself shine.
The greater the wealth, the greater the need for strength.
Not to mention a behemoth like Stormwind City, Smythie City, I'm afraid that the entire wasteland bandits can't accommodate Emerald Ridge.
The most difficult thing at the moment is that Li Zhenshu does not have the ability to defend this interest.
The dwarven locomotive is exclusive to the Emerald Ridge, and those bandit leaders are naturally red-eyed, if before, they would be very happy to be able to divide into two thousand golden hooves every month.
But now, Fei Cuiling's upcoming huge gains will inevitably interrupt the break-even.
There is no limit to the appetite of a living being, let alone a robber.
"Boss, the bosses are waiting in Cave No. 2!", Hawkins the Venetian mouse poked his head in.
"Let's go!", Li Zhenshuo beckoned to Redbeard, the second hole was much larger than Li Zhenshu's cave, and a huge round table was full of people.
Volcanic Imp, Bolangsha Flamingo, Old Mage, Bell, Goat Orc, Dwarf Ash.
Except for Redbeard, the twelve bandit leaders scattered across the wasteland all sat in this cave.
They all talked and laughed, and when Li Zhenshu came in, they suddenly quieted down.
All the leaders stood up very politely, "Emerald Lord!"
Although Lao Li was very unhappy, he still smiled politely back, "You come to Emerald Ridge to be the same as your own tribe, don't be restrained."
Bolangsha Flaming Crane's feathers are red, and his eyes are constantly beating like burning flames, especially the fiery red pointed beak, which is the hottest, sitting there like a small stove burning, "Li, don't be so polite to us, I heard that your dwarf locomotive earns a thousand gold hooves a day, I can't deny this!"
Li Zhen smiled, these robbers were not tactful at all, and signaled that Ivy could speak.
Ivy cleared her throat and took a piece of parchment, "I think you came to Emerald Ridge for the business in the tunnel! Let me briefly introduce that the dwarven locomotive is now open to the Stormwind City route from the Pearl Sea in the south of the wasteland to the Terrans, and after the initial operation, it will make a profit of nine hundred and eighty-six golden hooves a day!"
Everyone held their breath, there was only one line a day, and the profits were so lucrative, Qi Qi looked at Li Zhen trembling and tried his best to say something.
Ivy smiled, "Soon we will open the Savage Wasteland and the Beast Smai City line, and it is estimated that the operating profit will reach 10,000 Golden Hoofs a day!"
"Ten thousand?", the leader of the angel bandits has always had a stable temperament, and he couldn't help but exclaim in front of everyone at this moment.
To be the only female bandit leader in the wasteland, this woman is not as delicate as she seems.
The hardships experienced are no longer beneath the people in front of them.
A smile flashed from time to time in the corner of the Volcano Devil's eyes, and the current situation was already obvious.
Redbeard is a role model!
Whoever has better control of the wasteland frontier will receive enough benefits from the dwarven chariots.
Today, his transit station is closest to the Savage Ice Field, which is rapidly growing with its abundant mineral deposits.
Ten thousand!
This is definitely good news, 10,000 a day, at least 300,000 a month, their bandit leaders are divided according to one-third, and each bandit group can get at least 10,000 golden hooves.
They stared at Li Zhenshu, and now they were waiting for him to speak.
But Lao Li just tasted the hot tea he had on hand, and Ivy carefully refilled the cup for him, and he didn't want to open his mouth at all on the issue of profit sharing.
No matter how thick-skinned the robbers are, they can't ask Li Zhenshu for money openly right now.
The cave fell silent all of a sudden, and the atmosphere was awkward.
As the third cup of hot tea was drunk, Lao Li let out a sigh, "Okay, I won't sell Guanzi either, although the dwarf locomotive was independently developed by Emerald Ridge, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly without your support." However, the whole dwarf locomotive project has invested a lot, and you will not ask for golden hooves from me empty-handed!"
"How can it!", Bolangsha Flamingo took the lead and said, "We heard that you almost died on the ice field for this project, how much you invested, we will compensate you according to the proportion!"
Compared with the next share, this investment is simply a drop in the bucket.
Li Zhen trembled and touched the few whiskers on his chin, this flaming crane is really good at trading, but there is no way now, he must find a way to transfer the profits.
Now the terrifying golden hoof is a hot potato.
"Okay, I'll hand it over to Ivy as we agreed!"
Stood up and walked straight out of the No. 2 cave, these bandit leaders were a little inexplicable, they originally thought that Li Zhenshu would repay the debt, after all, the entire dwarf locomotive line was completed by Jade Ridge, and even risked their lives to ask for a passage from the Ogre Canyon.
They are robbers, and the usual scoundrel methods are endless, but at the moment they are full of clues.
Redbeard smiled, "You guys have taken advantage of enough, I still have something to do, withdraw first!", inexplicably laughed and chased out.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry!", the little volcano devil rolled his eyes, today's meeting was really a bit weird.
Smye City Councillor Nolan felt that something was wrong, this matter was much easier than imagined, and with such a large profit share, could it be that Li Zhen was making trouble.
Li Zhenshuo could not have played so many bandit leaders.
Lao Li was able to occupy the most central part of the wasteland, firstly, because he did not have a team at hand, and secondly, it was absolutely fair in the distribution of the benefits of the tunnel.
"You can come to Smye City in the future!" Nolan got up and followed.
The corners of the angel bandit leader's mouth hung an arc, and he leaned up, and at this moment everyone felt that the atmosphere was starting to be weird.
Li Zhen shuddered and looked at the familiar figure in front of him, the redbeard, the volcano little devil, the old mage, the robber heads of these two ghosts.
After a while, the thirteen robbers from the No. 2 Underground Cave gathered reappeared in Lao Li's office.
One is not more, one is not less.
"The meeting is over, do you still have something to do?"
No one answered Lao Li's question, they were fine, but such a gathering made them feel bottomless.
